He was so frustrated! And flailing!
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
It suddenly occurred to me that maybe Cas healing the handprint when he healed Dean in Swan Song was him severing ties with Dean, taking away the only physical reminder of himself so that Dean could move on with his life and his promise to Sam of apple pie, already knowing that he would be walking away from Dean to return to Heaven.
It sounds good, but I'm sure the writers and makeup people didn't think of it. Or if everyone was just "let's not bother anymore, let's just assume Cas healed that too" that they didn't have any solid reason behind it other than laziness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sheeit, motherfucker. I'm going to post this for the requestor before y'all would have time to answer, but I'm trying to make a list of an 11 episode S1 for someone who's ... you know ... not sure they're a true believer.
So, I spit upon them, but also I feed them the crack.
Problem is, my list is 12 episodes long. I can't work out which one to drop. I'm holding on to something for characterisation reasons at this point, because I think all the introductions and plot points are covered, but still...
Not that I even vaguely understand the concept of picking up a new series and not watching the whole thing--you either do or you don't, you know? But, good god, what if they'd just started at season 3? Because they'd heard "the first two are weak"? Oh, god, the horror. Anyway...I've made this list before. I don't know if I've deliberately kept myself to 11, but I've definitely done the abridged, and I never save it, which is dumb.
Okay. The first is done....
Season 1:
1.1 Pilot
1.2 Dead In the Water
1.3 Bloody Mary
1.5 Skin
1.9 Home
1.10 Asylum
1.11 Scarecrow
1.12 Faith
1.16 Shadow
1.20 Dead Man's Blood
1.21 Salvation
1.22 Devil's Trap
Let me work on the second.

Oh, thank dog. They're open to watching the entire seasons. Whew!

I was going to suggest "Phantom Traveler" in place of "Blood in the Water." The latter was one of the two eps that put me off the show until late Season 2.

Why?

Because I wasn't entertained by it.

I assumed that, but I thought maybe there was something you actively disliked. I don't usually give up on a series that early, or at least not when the cast looks like this one.

I compiled that list by whittling down the list of everything I rated between 4 and 5 stars. Phantom Traveller, despite being important in introducing us to demons, and entertaining introducing us to a phobia of Dean's, only gets three stars from me. Dead In The Water is a sentimental easy four, on the other hand.
Hmm. I'm looking at Hook Man thinking I should bump it up to 3.5. I am a sap.
